W E B OGDEN CITY, UTAH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1943 NUMBER 7 VOLUME 6 yy S VI Musicians Prepare Program Winter Concert Will Be February 15th in Moench Auditorium By Betty Lou Lamoreaux "Music hath charm to sooth the soul." This statement has ben proved by the music department in the past, but in the annual winter concert, which will be presented on Monday, February 15, in the Weber college auditorium at 8:00 p. m., music students will far surpass anything that has been done up to now. Under supervision of Mr. Roland Parry, the Dorian singers, the Musettes, teh Symphonettes and the chair will combine in the finest concert the music department has ever presented. The band will also add color and brilliance to the concert. Under the direction of Clair Johnson, the band will present lively and highly entertaining numbers. The choral numbers for the concert are "Just a Memory," by Henderson, and "Tne Night Has a Thousand Eyes," by Noble Cain, featuring the Symphonettes. The Dorian singers will sing the following numbers: "Come to Me in My Dreams," by Noble Cain, and "The Riff Song," from The Desert Song" by Romberg. "Make-Believe," by Kerns, and "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice," from "Show Boat" by Saint-Saens, will be sung by the Musettes. The nurses' octet will sing "Sylvia," by Speaks. The chorus will sing "Polonaise Mili-taire," by Chopin' and "Go Down Moses," arranged by Wheelwright. Combined choirs will sing "The Bells of St. Mary." Soloists for this number are Dilworth Young and Jay Olson. In the band numbers two soloists are outstanding. The trumpet solo played by Dean McKee is very difficult, but has been mastered very well. Que Rich does an outstanding job on the solo for trap drums. The complete band program is as follows: "U. S. Field Artillery," by Sousa, "Stout Hearted Men," by Romberg, "When Day Is Done," by Katscher, featuring Jay Olson, tenor soloist; Stars in a Velvety Sky," by Clarke, with Dean McKee, cornet soloist; "Tea for Two," by Youmans, with Shirley Burrows, dancer; and "Calfskin Calisthenics," by Bennett, solo for trap drums by Que Rich. Lieutenant Whittaker s Story Reveals Men s Fortitude and Daring Second in Command of Rickenbacker Flight Relates Grim Tale of Torturous Days Spent on the Ocean Weber college auditorium was filled to capacity last Thursday evening when Lieutenant James Whittaker, second in command in the Rickenbacker flight that started October 21, 1942, revealed the true story of the flight and subsequent adventures to an audience of civilian defense workers. Mr. Gus Backman of Salt Lake City, one of many dignitaries seated on the platform, introduced the lieutenant. Lieutenant Whittaker told his story in an earnest manner that thoroughly convinced the audience of his sincerity and the seriousness of America's situation today. forfait! RiMr0nV,ar.L-n,.

At one-thirty the next morning they started again, this time in a B-17, to which their supplies and radio compass and been transferred. Within a few hours it was loftrned that the compass had been damaged beyond repair, leaving the crew in unknown waters with no way of determining in which direction their course lay. Piano Circles The plane circled widely looking for land but only broad seas met the eyes of the crew. When only one and one-half hours of gasoline were left in the tank, they began sending out s. o. s. messages. Ten minutes of gas was left when they decided to make a forced landing. The pilot brought the plane to a speed of 90 miles an hour and landed on the water parallel to the waves. (This technique has been adopted for emergency landings since its success at that time.) Orders were given and ship was abandoned within 50 seconds. In the rush, all food was forgotten, with the result that only four oranges were salvaged.

Winter edition of the Transit will be released shortly before the end of the quarter, Irene Bushell, editor, revealed recently. The magazine will follow the same general idea which was used in the last issue, but will be even bigger and better than before. Some of the interesting features will be an article written by Mr. Leland H. Monson and a sports section. Candid shots of hell week participants will prove amusing to all. A review of the Signpost, its works and its authors will be included to the delight of all, except Dee Anderson. Members of the staff have not yet been announced but Editor Bushell comments that it is one of the most industrious she has worked with. The magazine promises to live up to all expectations. Skull Club Plans Alumni Banquet Hell week was terminated Wednesday, January 26 at eleven p. m. for Skull pledges when their frivolous initiation was over. Serious initiation was held yesterday in the women's lounge. A banquet is being planned by the club for the near future. Members and alumni will be present. pumps, oars and flares which were part of the equipment of the rubberized canvas rafts. Rickenbacker Goes Without The oranges were divided so each member of the party received one-eighth orange every morning. Captain Rickenbacker went without part of his rations so that the others could have more. On the eighth day it rained, which relieved the situation to some extent. The much publicized seagull provided food for one day. The bird was scrawny and tough but proved to be much better than nothing, Lieutenant Whittaker reported. Another source of nourishment came from two eight-inch fish which a member of the group caught. On the eleventh day Alex became delirious. He was tortured with thoughts of home with plenty of food and water. On the thirteenth day at two a. m. he died. One of the men said the Lord's prayer over the body and at daybreak they threw it into the sea. A few minutes later the sharks devoured the remains. Sharks Became Bold After this slight enco-iragement the sharks were more bold than Campus Nuts Join Forces To Stage Weber's '43 Varsity Extravaganza By BONNIE CLAY Screwballs from all parts of the campus are joining forces to bring the most laugh-provoking program of all time to Weber in the annual varsity show to be presented in the Moench auditorium, March 11, 12, and 13. The show was written by Joyce Squires and promises to be one of the cleverest in Weber's history. The story is, as usual, about the students of a small ocllege, similar to Weber, who put on the annual varsity show in spite of many difficulties. They surmount such obstacles as lack of money, the draft, jealousy, love affairs, and even half a dozen Russian cossacks, who clutter up the place. Ray Sanders, director, reported that he is encountering as many difficulties in the actual production of the show as are in the fictional version. "After many attempts at casting, recasting, and recasting, the show is almost cast," he said. The stage manager, Rell Thompson, is being drafted. Rehearsals would be decidedly better with a little cooperation from the cast. But the group is doing their utmost. "The show must go on!" they had been. Two or three were continually flipping water on the crew in the raft and one man had his nose broken by a flip of a shark's tail. In the bright light of men moon the fins loomed more ominous than ever. On the eighteenth evening a plane was sighted, but it turned and went in another direction before it reached them. This was discouraging to the men but Captain Rickenbacker offered $100 to the first man who sighted a plane or boat which would take them to safety, so that the vigil was nont forsaken. Planes Turn Away Other planes were spottted only to have them turn before the men on the raft could be found. Lieutenant Whittaker stated that all the pilots appeared to be well fed and happy. The party decided to divide on the twentieth day. This was for the purpose of attracting more attention for the air. As the men separated, they promised to meet again but the thought was in every heart that it might be a long time and many miles away before the promise could be fulfilled, if ever. Soon after the separation. Lieutenant Whittaker saw an island in the distance. After hours of paddling, it seemed that his time had come. He repeated the only prayer he knew, the Lord's prayer, and was filled with a miraculous strength which enabled him to paddle for two consecutive hours and then they reached the beach. Nourishing Stew The men were so weak that they crawled upon the shore. There they found rats and cocoanuts and made a stew which was nourishing if nont appetizing. The party took to the raft again in hopes that they would be sighted. They were found by a group of natives who cared for them until their rescue by a navy patrol plane. (ConUaued oo rago Two) is the slogan of the perservering little troup. Cast Is Tentative The tentative cast includes Jay Olson as Bill Kenard, the hero; Edna Litchfield in the part of the heroine; Kathy Grimm and Betty Nelson as Gertrude Langton, a first class heel. Roy Gibson takes the part of Professor Mayberry, the sociology instructor, and La-Vor Wood is John Tunias, the student body president. Joyce Squires and Bob Petty are Tit Roland and Tat Jepson, respectively. These two are the dancing-est couple in the student body and frequently give out with such routines as "When I First Saw Mother's Bustle, I Thought It Was a Muscle," and others. Carver Jitterbugs Lois Carver is Miranda Smith who is also a jitterbug and generally all-round screwball. Wallace Black, the director, is portrayed by John Vernieu (known to most as "Bishop.") Ralph Johnson and Mickey Stevens, dancers, are played by Roger Critchlow and Shirley Burrows. MacWright, the song writer, is Medalou Winter. Wayne Carver plays Herbert Jacobs, the sound man (but don't tell the draft board; they think he's kinda puny.) Joe (late to the bar) Jensen is writing the music for the show. Joyce Squires is assisting Sanders with the general direction and Jay Olson and Shirley Burrows are music and dance directors, respectively. Mr. Charles Espy is faculty adviser. Sophs Choose Vice Pres. Tomorrow Cordelia Niland Fails To Return to W. C. For Winter Quarter The sophomore class will conduct an election tomorrow, February 5, to fill the vacancy left by Cordelia Niland, who was vice president of the class. When Miss Niland expressed her preference to keep her job and attend night school last fall, the board of control and the eligibility committee found her eligible to continue her duties as vice president of the class. However, her absence on the campus during the daylight hours has been a handicap to the planning of class activities. Leaves Vacancy When Miss Niland failed to register for winter quarter classwork she was automatically dropped from the student body, leaving the vacancy in the sophomore class presidency.Roy Gibson and Virginia Nelson, (Continued on Page Two) Squaws Lead In Club Scholarship Honor Roll Includes Fifty-six Students Otyokwa girls earned the highest club average for fall quarter scholarship, according to a recent release from the registrar's office.

Chan Campus Educators Submit Report on Terminal Projects Ankle Injury Sends Prexy Home to Bed Wayne Carver Takes Nosedive Down Moench Stairway Wayne Carver, president of the Weber college student body, has been recuperating at his home in Plain City from a severely sprained ankle the result of an accident last Friday night. Carver was on his nightly inspection tour of the Moench building, a part of his duties as watchman, when he stopped in the Signpost staff room to inquire about the progress of the paper for this issue. While there, he was called to the telephone on the lower floor. Makes Mis-step On his way downstairs, he was eating a roll from the store of food the paper staff had purchased to ward off the pangs of hunger while they were burning the midnight oil. Whether it was the food or the stairs, or both, Carver made a misstep which threw him to the bottom of the steps. At first his ankle appeared to be broken, but after thorough examination the injury proved to be a severe sprain. His ankle is showing definite improvement.odo was the third club to carry on the ideal of friendship and this year Sophvita, newest girls club on the Weber campus is sponsoring the event (Continued on Page Two) i Many Significant Facts Revealed by Report Prepared Under the Direction of President H. A. Dixon and Faculty Members Dr. Rosco C. Ingalls, chairman of the administrative committee directing the work of the nine junior colleges in the United States assigned to terminal education projects and granted funds for that purpose, Monday morning received the Weber college report on the work accomplished on its project in 1942 and on the outlook for 1943 and 1944. The local project is, "The Organization of Terminal Curricula in the Junior College." The Weber report, prepared under the direction of President H. A. Dixon, co-ordinator of the project, comprised some 70 pages of detailed account of such subjects as the coordination of Weber college and industry, in service training of the college faculty, the extended day and night school, the teachers' project studies and reports, and finally the communization of the buildings and the infiltration of the faculty into community life. Calling of Reservists Draws Near Rumors Say That Men Will Be Placed On Active Basis Soon The time is approaching when Uncle Sam will take over the education of college students enrolled in the various reserve corps, including those at Weber college. At least it has ben rumored from numerous military corners that very shortly all reserve corps students will be placed in active status. Active duty means that the fellows will receive military salary, subsistence, living quarters, clothing, and will be subject to military discipline for the remainder of the training -riod. The navy promises that all men who have been enlisted as reserves will be permitted to continue college in their special field of study at some designated naval training center. Ninety To Reception Center The army reservists, according to latest reports, will be called to reception centers and re-screened. Some of the army reserves will be permitted to continue their colege training without interruption. Others will be sent for 13 weeks basic training before they are assigned to a school for special training. Still others may be assigned directly to troop service, and the minority may be chosen for a very special and technical kind of training.The navy announces that beginning in February they will begin placing their reserve corps men on active basis. Army communication states that all reservists will be permitted to complete their quarter's work terminating after December 31, 1942. Pre-medical students, sophomore engineering students, and aviation cadets may not be called at the same time as the other reservists. Jenson States Opinion Mr. Ralph Jenson, adviser to Webrr's reservists, has offered this bit of counsel to the men in reserve corps: "Of course, any fellow's continuation as a reservist depends upon successful school work and behavior characteristic of that of an officer. It is my opinion that reserve corps men will not be called en masse. You will more than likely receive your orders for active status at different times." Students Perform At Bushneli Students from Weber college presented an assembly for the benefit of wounded service men last Monday evening at the Bushneli hospital in Brigham City. The program included two vocal solos by Jay Olson, a reading by Pat Jurgens, a hula dance by Marvel Murphy, a dance routine by Marge Andclin and Oren Jacobs, and musical selections by the Musettes. President H. A. Dixon gave a short address. Joe Jensen played some boogie woogie on the piano and the athletic department, under the direction of Mr. Reed Swen-son. did some tumbling. John Vernieu was master of ceremonies. The same assembly will be presented before the members of the college student body in the near future. Those who contributed the larger items of the report were President Dixon, Mr. Merlon L. Stevenson, Dr. Robert A. Clarke, Mr. H. Parley Kilburn, Mrs. Clarisse H. Hall, and the Weber college staff. Mr. C. M. Nilsson organized and edited the various units. Among the many significant facts revealed by the report were these: That the teachers of the school have completed and have ready for publication 21 projects in terminal education. That 12 such projects will be completed in 1943. That two major reports are planned for 1944. There will be "A Final Report on the Weber College Assignment" and "Procedures in Developing Terminal Courses." Moreover the instructors have completed 75 courses of study and have 39 more in process of completion. Teachers Serve Prominently The report revealed, too, that the members of the faculty are serving prominently in the religious and civic life of Ogden and the Ogden area. They hold such civic positions as committeemen in Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and the Ogden chamber of commerce. There are nine presidents of important local and regional organizations. Religious positions run the gamut from Westminster Presbyterian trustee and members of L. L. S. high council and supertendencies to ward teacher, Relief society teacher, and Sunday school teacher in various churches. Male Instructor Is Nursemaid When asked to list other occupations or services, one male faculty member declared that he earned side money tending babies 30 hours a week. President Dixon expressed himself as being highly pleased with what the report revealed of the school, and the faculty mentioning specifically their contribution to terminal education in the junior college, their professional alertness and preparation, their social service to the community, and their willingness to blueprint for themselves a program of terminal education projects running as far ahead as 1944. Thirty-four teachers who have in one way or another had something to do with the Weber college terminal education project pledged themselves to continue the work as far ahead as that year. Quinn Home For Father's Funeral Rites Lieut, (j. g.) Pat Quinn, '38, flew from Pearl Harbor last week in something like 24 hours after hearing of his father's death here on Tuesday. The lieutenant, eminent at Weber college in journalism, debate and swimming, looked exceptionally well in plenty of beautiful gold braid and navy blue. In sympathy at the death of their student's father, after whom Pat was named, the English department sent flowers. Lieut. Glen Lewis, '37, former engineering student at Weber, is still whooping it up over Buna and Gona and the adjacent wastes of the Pacific. A bomber pilot, Lieutenant Lewis went even more wacky one day not over a month ago and steered his command within nice easy dropping distance of an ammunition dump, an airdrome, some Jap troops, a light cruiser and a destroyer. When he got through neither Tojo nor Annie lived there any more. Because of dozens of feats like this series, Lewis is goinp' to get a bowlful of decorations, including the distinguished flying cross and the silver star. Lloyd Norscth, '40, often referred to by his football buddies as "Knifer" because of his easy going manner of spearing the opposing (Continued On Page Two)

While there, he was called to the telephone on the lower floor. Makes Mis-step On his way downstairs, he was eating a roll from the store of food the paper staff had purchased to ward off the pangs of hunger while they were burning the midnight oil. Whether it was the food or the stairs, or both, Carver made a misstep which threw him to the bottom of the steps.

His ankle is showing definite improvement.odo was the third club to carry on the ideal of friendship and this year Sophvita, newest girls club on the Weber campus is sponsoring the event (Continued on Page Two) i Many Significant Facts Revealed by Report Prepared Under the Direction of President H. A. Dixon and Faculty Members Dr. Rosco C. Ingalls, chairman of the administrative committee directing the work of the nine junior colleges in the United States assigned to terminal education projects and granted funds for that purpose, Monday morning received the Weber college report on the work accomplished on its project in 1942 and on the outlook for 1943 and 1944. The local project is, "The Organization of Terminal Curricula in the Junior College." The Weber report, prepared under the direction of President H. A. Dixon, co-ordinator of the project, comprised some 70 pages of detailed account of such subjects as the coordination of Weber college and industry, in service training of the college faculty, the extended day and night school, the teachers' project studies and reports, and finally the communization of the buildings and the infiltration of the faculty into community life. Calling of Reservists Draws Near Rumors Say That Men Will Be Placed On Active Basis Soon The time is approaching when Uncle Sam will take over the education of college students enrolled in the various reserve corps, including those at Weber college. At least it has ben rumored from numerous military corners that very shortly all reserve corps students will be placed in active status. Active duty means that the fellows will receive military salary, subsistence, living quarters, clothing, and will be subject to military discipline for the remainder of the training -riod. The navy promises that all men who have been enlisted as reserves will be permitted to continue college in their special field of study at some designated naval training center. Ninety To Reception Center The army reservists, according to latest reports, will be called to reception centers and re-screened. Some of the army reserves will be permitted to continue their colege training without interruption. Others will be sent for 13 weeks basic training before they are assigned to a school for special training. Still others may be assigned directly to troop service, and the minority may be chosen for a very special and technical kind of training.The navy announces that beginning in February they will begin placing their reserve corps men on active basis. Army communication states that all reservists will be permitted to complete their quarter's work terminating after December 31, 1942. Pre-medical students, sophomore engineering students, and aviation cadets may not be called at the same time as the other reservists. Jenson States Opinion Mr. Ralph Jenson, adviser to Webrr's reservists, has offered this bit of counsel to the men in reserve corps: "Of course, any fellow's continuation as a reservist depends upon successful school work and behavior characteristic of that of an officer. It is my opinion that reserve corps men will not be called en masse. You will more than likely receive your orders for active status at different times." Students Perform At Bushneli Students from Weber college presented an assembly for the benefit of wounded service men last Monday evening at the Bushneli hospital in Brigham City. The program included two vocal solos by Jay Olson, a reading by Pat Jurgens, a hula dance by Marvel Murphy, a dance routine by Marge Andclin and Oren Jacobs, and musical selections by the Musettes. President H. A. Dixon gave a short address. Joe Jensen played some boogie woogie on the piano and the athletic department, under the direction of Mr. Reed Swen-son. did some tumbling. John Vernieu was master of ceremonies. The same assembly will be presented before the members of the college student body in the near future. Those who contributed the larger items of the report were President Dixon, Mr. Merlon L. Stevenson, Dr. Robert A. Clarke, Mr. H. Parley Kilburn, Mrs. Clarisse H. Hall, and the Weber college staff. Mr. C. M. Nilsson organized and edited the various units. Among the many significant facts revealed by the report were these: That the teachers of the school have completed and have ready for publication 21 projects in terminal education. That 12 such projects will be completed in 1943. That two major reports are planned for 1944. There will be "A Final Report on the Weber College Assignment" and "Procedures in Developing Terminal Courses." Moreover the instructors have completed 75 courses of study and have 39 more in process of completion. Teachers Serve Prominently The report revealed, too, that the members of the faculty are serving prominently in the religious and civic life of Ogden and the Ogden area. They hold such civic positions as committeemen in Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and the Ogden chamber of commerce. There are nine presidents of important local and regional organizations. Religious positions run the gamut from Westminster Presbyterian trustee and members of L. L. S. high council and supertendencies to ward teacher, Relief society teacher, and Sunday school teacher in various churches. Male Instructor Is Nursemaid When asked to list other occupations or services, one male faculty member declared that he earned side money tending babies 30 hours a week. President Dixon expressed himself as being highly pleased with what the report revealed of the school, and the faculty mentioning specifically their contribution to terminal education in the junior college, their professional alertness and preparation, their social service to the community, and their willingness to blueprint for themselves a program of terminal education projects running as far ahead as 1944. Thirty-four teachers who have in one way or another had something to do with the Weber college terminal education project pledged themselves to continue the work as far ahead as that year. Quinn Home For Father's Funeral Rites Lieut, (j. g.) Pat Quinn, '38, flew from Pearl Harbor last week in something like 24 hours after hearing of his father's death here on Tuesday. The lieutenant, eminent at Weber college in journalism, debate and swimming, looked exceptionally well in plenty of beautiful gold braid and navy blue. In sympathy at the death of their student's father, after whom Pat was named, the English department sent flowers. Lieut. Glen Lewis, '37, former engineering student at Weber, is still whooping it up over Buna and Gona and the adjacent wastes of the Pacific. A bomber pilot, Lieutenant Lewis went even more wacky one day not over a month ago and steered his command within nice easy dropping distance of an ammunition dump, an airdrome, some Jap troops, a light cruiser and a destroyer. When he got through neither Tojo nor Annie lived there any more. Because of dozens of feats like this series, Lewis is goinp' to get a bowlful of decorations, including the distinguished flying cross and the silver star. Lloyd Norscth, '40, often referred to by his football buddies as "Knifer" because of his easy going manner of spearing the opposing (Continued On Page Two)
